Always Anti-fascist!

I do support people looking out for each other, but the problems are just too big for that to be enough.(also, I have a house payment *every* month, not just when someone like Tep's brother feels guilty at Christmas, right? Not to single out your brother.) "they said 'laid" huh huh huh.

If you screw up in a car you could die. Why don't they have driving instructors?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

No high schools in this area offer drivers Ed anymore, you have to take it on your own.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I can't make "lay that hard concrete" jokes about the guy who's right outside!

...he's fine as hell though

...and he's bending over with his butt toward the window. If I were into that sort of thing, I'd be having me some nice fantasies right about now.

But instead I'm me, and all I'm thinking about is how sweaty he is, and maybe I should take him some water?

If it were a porno, you'd go out in just a sports bra and Daisy Dukes, with a pitcher of cold water. Or you could just be you and be nice and take him the pitcher of cold water anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nice to load the plane and THEN tell us we're delayed.

Even sitting on the tarmac, I can still get the airport wifi. Sweet.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My high school had optional driver's ed which, since taking it would reduce my parents' insurance rates for me, I had to take. However, I was the youngest person and the only girl, so the instructor had the boys (who already had their licenses but were taking it to get the reduced insurance rate) drive everywhere. I think I got behind the wheel once and the instructor figured out I had no knowledge of experience and relegated me to the back seat. My mother ended up teaching me - my father tried once and gave up after that. She also tried to teach me to drive a stick shift on her car but that only lasted for one lesson (she kept yelling "my baby!" ... and was not referring to me).

I don't have a car and almost never drive, but I keep a current driver's license. It's good for ID in the area, but once you're away, this tends to happen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice to load the plane and THEN tell us we're delayed.

Did they pull back from the gate? Now it's an "on-time departure"! (In their defense, I have had the experience of the pilot saying we were going to sit for X amount of time and it turned out to be way less, so it was just as well we were loaded in.)
